Kendallville High School Graduates 1879-1915
To School Records

In 1858 the first school was erected in Kendallville proper - a 3-story frame building at the corner of Diamond and Riley streets.  The first high school graduating class was in 1879 and consisted of 8 members.  The last graduating class was in 1966, at which time the East Noble School Corporation was formed and created a high school for all Wayne, Allen, Swan and Orange Township students.  A list of Kendallville High School graduates from 1879 through 1915 was included in the KHS 1916 yearbook.  The list included names of graduates, the year of graduation and the 1916 city of residence.  It is copied in surname alphabetical sequence here.
